Hey Everyone!!!!
I arrived yesterday and everything is rolling fast but going well. We started off with training yesterday afternoon and went over our game plan to take on management. We were all able to get our questions answered about how we'll go into bargaining united and strong. It has been exciting to see all the people here in purple ready to fight for our members. About 120 SEIU-UHW members are here to support our people. WE'RE STANDING STRONG!!!
We have not met with management yet, but after lunch today we will have our first interaction with them. We'll start by hearing the viewpoints of both labor and management. Then the negotiations begin! I'm expecting this year's national bargaining to be exciting and for history to be made with an amazing new contract.
I will have more to come after this afternoon. For now, just know that we are here getting ready to fight a battle that can only be won with all of you out there standing and supporting us!!!!! So wear those stickers today and show that we're ready to fight. We all stand united here and we hope that you all are standing united out there!
Talk to you again soon!

ReplyDeleteI hope bargaining is successul in holding onto jobs.
I'm curious what others think about the idea of allowing Kaiser to freeze our wages, rather than ask for raises. We would be showing them that we understand this difficult situation (recession) and perhaps the money Kaiser saves could be used to save jobs. I would be happy to keep my present salary if it meant no more layoffs.
